As the Jack Eichel saga continues in Buffalo, David Pagnotta of thefourthperiod.com has reported that Eichel will likely not be ready by the beginning of training camp or probably the season, whether he be in a Buffalo Sabres jersey or any other team that may still try and trade for him. He still has not had surgery on his neck and he is not back to full strength yet so he is not ready to be a full participant in any contact drills or play.
